Kitchen Remodeling
Chef-inspired kitchens designed for modern Austin living. From open-concept conversions in Tarrytown to custom sculleries in West Lake Hills, we build kitchens that are as functional as they are beautiful.
Chef-Inspired Spaces Designed for Entertaining
At TrueBuilt Remodeling and Construction, we create kitchens that go far beyond a surface-level refresh. Our Austin kitchen remodels are designed around how you actually live and cook — blending high-end design with everyday functionality.
We specialize in custom white oak cabinetry, expansive quartz islands with waterfall edges, hidden sculleries, and butler pantries that keep your main kitchen clutter-free. Whether you need a structural open-concept conversion to connect your kitchen to the living and dining areas, or a complete gut renovation with premium finishes, our design-build team handles every detail from engineering to final trim.
Proudly serving homeowners across West Lake Hills, Tarrytown, Hyde Park, Mueller, Travis Heights, and all of Greater Austin.

Scope of Work
Structural Modifications
Load-bearing wall removal for open-concept living is one of the most requested upgrades in Austin's older homes. We work with licensed structural engineers to design flush steel beam systems that seamlessly integrate your kitchen with the living and dining areas — no exposed headers or bulkheads.
Custom Cabinetry
From European flat-panel to classic Shaker profiles, our custom cabinetry is built to last. Every kitchen includes soft-close drawers, pull-out spice racks, appliance garages, and floor-to-ceiling pantry storage. We design cabinetry layouts that maximize every inch of available space.
Premium Countertops & Surfaces
Choose from durable quartz, natural quartzite, elegant marble, or heat-resistant soapstone. We fabricate and install waterfall edge islands, integrated sinks, and full-height backsplashes. Our material specialists help you select the perfect surface for your cooking style and budget.
Butler Pantries & Sculleries
Hidden prep kitchens are a hallmark of high-end Austin properties. We design and build butler pantries and sculleries with additional storage, secondary sinks, dishwashers, and countertop space — keeping your main kitchen clean and guest-ready at all times.
Appliance Integration
We coordinate the installation of built-in refrigeration, professional-grade ranges, speed ovens, integrated dishwashers, and custom panel-ready appliances. Every appliance is planned into the cabinetry layout from day one for a seamless, built-in look.
Lighting & Electrical
Proper kitchen lighting transforms the entire space. We install under-cabinet LED task lighting, pendant fixtures over islands, layered recessed lighting plans, dedicated circuits for high-draw appliances, and USB outlets at key workstations throughout the kitchen.
Our Kitchen Remodeling Process
Design & Feasibility
We visit your home to evaluate your existing kitchen layout, structural conditions, plumbing and electrical capacity, and any zoning considerations. You receive a detailed scope of work, 3D kitchen renderings, and a fixed-price proposal before any work begins.
Material Selection
Our design team guides you through selecting cabinetry styles, countertop materials, hardware, fixtures, lighting, and appliances. We coordinate with local Austin showrooms and suppliers to ensure every selection fits your vision and timeline.
Dust-Contained Construction
We install full dust containment barriers with negative air pressure to protect your living spaces during construction. Daily progress updates with photos are delivered through your dedicated client portal so you always know what is happening in your kitchen.
Completion & Walkthrough
Once construction is complete, we conduct a detailed walkthrough to review every element of your new kitchen. We handle all final inspections, address any punch-list items, and ensure your complete satisfaction before we consider the project finished.
What Goes Into a Kitchen Remodeling?
Key factors that shape your investment:
- Custom cabinetry (white oak, walnut, painted shaker) is typically the largest single line item in a kitchen remodel
- Load-bearing wall removal for open-concept layouts requires structural engineering and beam installation
- Appliance package tier (builder-grade vs. professional Sub-Zero, Wolf, or Miele) significantly affects scope
- Countertop material selection — quartz, quartzite, granite, or porcelain slab — varies considerably in cost and character
- City of Austin permits for electrical, plumbing, and structural work are required and managed by TrueBuilt
